shaky situation

hey guys been awhile ive been on but heres the situation.... ive done upper ball joints new idler arm and new tie rod ends but one (driver outside) rest are new... i hit a bump and my wheel goes into a viloent shake ive check wheel bearings and theyre good.. no movement wat so ever.. ive sat under the truck and had my brother turn the wheel and ive noticed the driver wheel seems to move about a inch or so before the passenger wheel does and i also noticed the idler arm move some.. i need help to figure this out.. i cant drive it much wth out it going into a bad shake so any help would be greatly apprciated.. my guess is the steering box itself but thats all i can think of..

Did you forget to do your lower ball joints?

The lowers have been replaced before... Would they effect it that much? I wouldn't think so but you never know..

I would not suspect it to be the steering box, I think the power steering should help keep that end under control. I suspect play in idler arm and tie rod end would allow lateral move movement back into the system. If the lower ball joints are bad, its just going to make it worse.
